Travis....only I am older and wiser than all you youngsters !

Everybody else seeks my Wisdom !

 

are you like david carradine in Kung Fu, the wise elder??

 

I'm pretty fast with all my aids on

 

Looking at my data log for the best top speed on that back straight. From the GPS my best was a 105MPH. Top speed on my fastest lap was 103. Best lap 2:10:37 and a virtual best 2:08:56.

I think 105 is just before the rev limit with my short tires, but I was not that far from the brake zone markes, maybe rode the rev limit for a couple of secs. So I think 110 is possible but 120 is not in the cards for my car on that back straight.

 

So I finally bit the bullet and bought the damn thing. Kay jewelers had a good sale so I went ahead and bought the whole set for engagement and wedding bands.

 

Congrats Pat, i'll be shopping for those next year some time

 

You bought Michelle a wedding ring on the Internet ?

Should have gone to Jared !

Congrats to you & Michelle.....way to go !

And no I don't shoot Weddings !

 

*smh*


grats sir... I thought the force was strong in you.. but it AINT..

srsly though - Congrats brother..

 

I didn't buy it on the internet lol i went to the store and got it. It's being sent off for sizing right now. I just used that for a picture so you guys could see it.

 

May I suggest in the spirit of marital bliss, you edit "the damn thing" to "I just bought my wife a bitching rock". That can be interpreted any way you need it.

I speak from 24 years of marriage, always leave yourself a way out

 

^^^^hahahahahahaha - now we know who the wise one is..

 

Congrats!

 

congrats Pat very cool - I'm 12 years in on Jan 1st - only 6 more to go! lol

 

Congrats Pat! Good thing you bought a fully prepped Z cause mod money is GONE now!

 

Lol....Tru Dat !

 

Man you aren't kidding either lol she already complains when i spend money on the car. Usually i could always get out of it because i spent my money that i earned lol but now my money will not just be mine lol

 

It's a harsh reality of marriage. The thing to remember is try not to look at it negatively. If my wife didn't regulate a little I'd spend ALL my money on the Z. It's good to have a counterpart to keep you grounded. She just has to understand that she's marrying a car guy and their will always be some kind of hobby money there.

 

Quote from my wife: Your money is my money and My money is my money!

 

Pat....just remember this phrase....." Happy wife, happy life ! "

So make the wife happy first and all should be fine. Michelle understands your interest in cars and driving or she would be gone by now....so just be fair and equal with what money you guys spend on each other's hobbies and all will be fine.

If you abuse the situation then you be in hot water quickly. But if your both aware of each others needs & wants then you should be golden.

I like Michelle a lot and if she has hung out with you for this long....then you two are meant for each other forever ! ....besides, she makes some good A$$ treats for us for dessert.

 

Me Like Dessert--- Put that "Damn Thing" on her finger pronto!
